Term::readline::perl

Revamp Term::ReadLine::Perl

Overview

Term::ReadLine::Perl is a pure Perl implementation of GNU Readline.

It is a rather important module, used in many other modules. But it is in need of rewriting and modernization.

I have a patch for it which I use in Devel::Trepan to provide command-line history. But others have contacted me because it should also allow things like multibyte support.

It also looks abandoned. Or at any rate seriously neglected.
